I got home from work this evening just in time to find "Jett" had run out in front of a neighbors car and got hit right in front of the house. He actually belonged to Ben, my room mates 9 year old son but he had taken a real liking to me and tended to stay with me over at the shop more than he stayed at home (I think he enjoyed terrorizing the shop cats more than anything). Lori had gotten him for Ben, as a puppy, about a year ago and I have to admit I didn't want another dog because I had just lost two of them, one 12 and another was nearly 14. But, being an dog lover at heart I ""grudgingly"" warmed up to him, mainly I think because he was so smart. Since she got him too small to be outside by himself he started out as an inside dog but decided on his own he preffered outside...when the weather was good...(we always joked he 'fair weather' dog) He was one of the smartest dogs I've known, he housebroke almost immediately and when he was outside he actually knocked on the door to let us know he wanted back in, where he picked that up I'll never know because it wasn't something he was taught. If he got hungry and there didn't happen to be food in the bowl at that particular time he'd knock the barrel over and get it himself, I didn't like that much but at least he was smart enough to be self sufficient.... I've had more than my share of outside dogs and none of them were ever smart enough to do that, they'd starve first. I can't explain it, he wasn't around but a year, and he wasn't really "my dog" but I think I got more attached to that mutt than I have any of the others I had for ten times as long. I just wish that as smart as he was along with all the disiplining I tried with him, etc, he had been smart enough to keep out of the road. I had been expecting this to happen because of that stupid streak of his, when it came to getting in the road, but it still doesn't make it any easier loosing him this way..... Thanks for the chance to vent here guys. I guess when you loose a pet that has become like a part of the family it helps to remember them the same way and think more about their life than their death. How many of ya'll have or have had pets that were part of the family like Jett had become?

Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
